If not, you should see if someone can DVR it for you or look for it. She picks fabric to design a room around and it is wonderful. She rarely ever buys furniture from a store. She repurposes everything. It is so inspiring. You&#39;re doing just what she does. I love your room!Nanette Merrill and daughtershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05734358126338038553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8701356841394413080.post-52254773685901082182010-06-12T10:22:14.604-06:002010-06-12T10:22:14.604-06:00Love your arcadia quilt!
